1985 Map of Sublett

About this map

Rift Valley dominates this Idaho landscape, where high-altitude watercourses like Warm Creek and Shirley Creek descend from the surrounding peaks toward the valley floor. The small settlement of Sublett serves as the primary human landmark in this part of Cassia County, positioned near where the drainage systems of Meadow Canyon and Big Canyon converge. This 1980s-era provisional survey illustrates the infrastructure of the period, including a prominent Pipeline cutting diagonally across the terrain and a localized Gravel Pit indicative of local resource use. The topography is defined by the contrast between the flat expanses of the rift and the steep, carved paths of Meadow Creek and Cold Spring Creek, providing a clear view of the hydrological and geological patterns of the region before modern digital mapping became standard.
